Behavioural Detection
Proactive Security for Public and Private Spaces
Ensuring high-level security by detecting potential threats before they escalate
Proactive Security for a Safer World
In an evolving security landscape, early detection of potential threats has become essential. Behavioural detection goes beyond conventional security, focusing on identifying suspicious behaviours and patterns that may signal malicious intent.
This proactive approach aligns closely with the new Martyn’s Law, which mandates that public venues implement preventive security measures to protect against terrorism. At Barham Protection Services (BPS), we specialise in behavioural detection, providing public and private entities with highly trained Behavioural Detection Officers (BDOs) who assess threats in real-time, allowing rapid responses that safeguard individuals and property.
With Martyn’s Law now placing Protect Duty responsibilities on venues across the UK, behavioural detection has become a critical component of comprehensive security solutions. BPS is at the forefront of this approach, offering discreet, expert-led threat detection for a range of environments—from crowded public venues to private estates.

Core Behavioural Detection Services
Advanced Techniques to Protect People and Places
Body Language Analysis
Our Behavioural Detection Officers are trained to interpret subtle cues in body language that may signal stress, anxiety, or suspicious intentions. These indicators—such as unusual eye movements, nervous hand gestures, or erratic behaviour—help us identify potential threats before they escalate.
Situational Awareness and Environmental Scanning
Situational awareness is crucial in behavioural detection. Our BDOs conduct continuous scans of the environment, observing changes in movement patterns, group dynamics, and any individuals acting unusually. This technique is invaluable in crowded or high-risk settings, such as concert venues or transportation hubs.
Threat and Risk Profiling
BPS’s team is skilled in profiling based on behavioural cues, environment, and context. By understanding risks unique to each venue, we can adapt our detection methods to better address the specific challenges and potential threats each location presents.
Crowd and Group Dynamics Monitoring
In high-density environments, potential threats often come in groups or pairs. Our BDOs monitor interactions and behaviour within groups, observing unusual dynamics that may indicate coordinated threats. This proactive approach aligns with Martyn’s Law requirements for public venue security.
How BPS's Behavioural Detection Supports Martyn’s Law
